They (gop) really want a civil war.
they do realize that if they start it and we win, we're gonna have to finish the job for good this time, right? we aren't gonna make the "ending reconstruction early" mistake twice.
Sherman should have never stopped.
He should definitely have continued into the sea, and burned that, too.
When it comes to Texas, he went in the wrong direction.
I hope you're right, but I worry that the majority of Americans will want to forgive and move on.
Ban all confederate and nazi symbols and treat anyone using them as enemy combatants, dissidents, whatever. I don't like operating in absolutes but they've shown time and time again not doing so only allows them to push everything further right into christofascist extremism.
Just let them secede. They don’t really want a fair democracy anyway, so good riddance. America will be better off without them.
Even if they won their precious civil war, in their brave new world of Jesus Trumpmerica, states still aren't going to let other states tell them what to do.
The only world in which Texas' AG has this sort of power is a world where a country that includes the Pacific Northwest is called Texas.
At this point so do I. These monsters fill me with rage on a daily basis. Let's fucking do it already, there's way more liberals than vile conservatives. I'm ready to pop a few for the betterment of our country.
